We had a blast. Great cruise . Beautiful scenery Easy on and off Would definitely go on this cruise again.
Very informative and nice to see everything from the water. Make sure you take a jacket if you want to stay upstairs!
I've been on this Golden Gate Bay cruise a few years ago. It did not disappoint this time either. I took a friend visiting from Washington, and we loved it. The cruise left on time and the audio commentary, available in several languages, was very informative. They do offer snacks onboard if you're interested.I would definitely bring more guests onto this cruise in the future. I booked online and had the tickets on my phone for easy and convenient access. The staff was very friendly and hospitable. Oh, and by the way, the restrooms on board are very clean!
Too many passengers.
This was a great experience on a boat. Going under the Golden Gate bridge was totally cool, it's breathtaking! It was a bit windy so the boat moved a lot, so prepare yourself and it's also very windy if you plan to be out on the boat (it's better view). The information on Alcatraz was very interesting, I was able to get some nice pictures. If you don't have tickets to Alcatraz, this is probably the best way to go. Dress warm I would say regardless of the time, it's going to be cold. Thank you Viator for a great experience.
Beware! Summer in San Francisco means lots of fog in the morning and evening so i would not recommend this sunset cruise during June, July and August. I went in July and Alcatraz was foggy - we could barely see it, Sausalito was good but the Golden Gate was completely fogged over and we saw nothing.
Excellent, informative and flexible boarding times!
